In an impressive showing during a recent game, Spencer emerged as a key player off the bench, scoring 16 points in just 21 minutes, leading his team to a 115-107 win against the Sacramento Kings. The second-year guard was highly efficient, connecting on 6 of 10 field goal attempts and sinking 4 of 5 from three-point range, along with contributing three assists and a steal.
Spencer’s three-point shooting has particularly shone as he finds his rhythm in late November. Over the last five games, he has consistently performed well, averaging 14.4 points and 4.6 assists while also contributing 3.0 rebounds and 0.8 steals in roughly 23.6 minutes per game. His shooting has reached an impressive 60.0 percent from beyond the arc, converting 15 of 25 attempts.
This surge in performance is largely attributed to increased playing time and shot opportunities, particularly in the wake of star guard Ja Morant’s calf injury that has left him sidelined. As Spencer continues to excel in these circumstances, there is rising speculation that his hot streak may earn him a more significant role even after Morant’s return. As a second-round pick from the 2024 NBA Draft, Spencer is certainly establishing himself as a valuable asset for the team’s future. His growing confidence and skillset present a hopeful outlook as he continues to develop in the league.
